Saddle Up & Color - Sharon Willis - Bog

Greetings and welcome to our coloring book collection celebrating the beauty and strength of African Americans and their history in the rodeo Arena! As a designer, I am thrilled to share with you the story of my upbringing and the inspiration behind our latest series.
Growing up in the small town of Okmulgee, Oklahoma I was fortunate to be surrounded by a rich African American cowboy culture. Every year, the town hosted the Black Rodeo, an event that brought people from all over the country to witness the extraordinary talent and athleticism of our community. As a child, I was mesmerized by the grace and power of the horses, and the courage and tenacity of the riders.
The Black Rodeo was not just a sporting event, but a celebration of our heritage and a testament to the resilience and strength of our people. It was a reminder that, despite the many obstacles and challenges we faced, we could persevere and excel. And it is this spirit of determination and excellence that we hope to capture in our coloring books.
Our collection showcases the beauty and majesty of African American women and their horses, highlighting the unique bond and partnership between rider and mount. We hope that these pages will inspire you to explore your own creativity and to celebrate the power and beauty of the African American equestrian tradition.
Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we look forward to sharing many more beautiful coloring books with you in the future!
